The company has released the final results from its drilling program, which focused on targets across the project but especially the Calibre deposit.
Calibre was extended 100 metres to the west and 150 metres to the south. Drill intersections from the final six holes measured up to 14.4 metres at 1.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.08 per cent copper, including 1.8 metres at 7.02 g/t gold and 1.37 g/t silver.

Further drilling is planned under the Citadel 2022 exploration program, which will be operated by Rio Tinto.
